As an old fart, I've been saying for a long time that there is just not much new "real" music being made. Auto-tune, over-edited, garage-band trash, looped crap, etc., dominates the airwaves (and does not speak well to today's generations). Well, today I have found some new, real, and real damn good, music. Or at least one song. Have to check out more by Alffa. Sort of a White Stripes flavor with an R.L. Burnside (blues) feel. Minimalistic in a good, very good, way. Made me think of Morphine (band) too, although you'd have to toss a nice baritone sax in there to really shake that vibe out. Anyway, good job, Alffa. More. Please.
Thanks Don, we really appreciate this! We've got a new single coming out early February and we're currently writing an album, so there's going to be plenty more from us! Alffa x
@@alffa4973 Was checking out contemporary music in different languages, and came upon this song which I thoroughly enjoyed listening to. Keep up the good work!
I'm a 2000's kid but I definitely recognise where you come from. I normally listen to 70's rock because all music now is the same and I agree this band turned the tide and I think they've done a fantastic job.
You would probably like #FullTrunk then too. If you don't care that it's not in English, Elai Botner as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LN-pUK4KIG0.html
I read the translation from a comment, I really like how Welsh sounds o-o and the sound fucking rocks, pun intended I'm Basque, so I really like listening to music in other minority, regional languages. Keep it up!!
English translation Poison Does it feel like paradise Flowing through your veins The doors closed around your surroundings But there's no avoiding the problems You better run whilst you're young As there's no escape when you're older Your background is poison That pollutes your shadow x3 Your background is poison That pollutes your shadow You haven't shown me your cards Or which game you're playing with us And the taste of guilt is clear to the world You're not a person since you left the crib While everyone else sees black and white Through our eyes is a profile of colours Your background is poison That pollutes your shadow x3 Your background is poison That pollutes your shadow Your background is poison That pollutes your shadow x3 Your background is poison That pollutes your shadow

I only speak English and I was listening to this on spotify and I loved it! Then I looked up the English translation and I thought you had some amazing content! Keep it up!!
Really cool guys! I'm german living in ohio but spent some time in Wales and it's my favorite country . I was just there last year I wish I would have known about you would have seen if you were gigging. Love the Welsh language and it's refreshing to hear a great rock song in Welsh. Diolch!
Sounding pretty amazing, was listening to welsh folk music when I accidentally stumbled upon this. Really enjoy listening to the language in general, cheers from California
Here are the lyrics: Ydio’n teimlo fel paradwys llwyr Yn llifo trwy dy weithienau di Y drysa sy’n cloi dy amgylchiadau Ond does dim ffoio’r problema Well i ti rhedeg tra ti’n ifanc Pan ti’n hŷn, fy’n na’m dianc Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di x3 Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di Ti heb ddangos dy gardiau i ni A pa gem ti’n trio chwara ‘da ni A ma blas euoogrwydd yn amlwg i’r byd Ti ddim yn berson ers i ti adal y crud A pawb arall yn gweld du a gwyn A trwy ein llygid ni mae lliwiau Yn adfil Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di x3 Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di x3 Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di
@Bryn Webster I mean it in the way of it's not a language that has been made to be 'cool' to speak. Like Korean, Chinese, Russian or Spanish. I am Welsh and I'm proud to be Welsh. But this song makes me prouder.
Idk, its pretty awesome to speak anyway welsh anyway, we speak a language with a legacy that goes back almost as long as written European history itself I feel like that's pretty magical
@@anewchallengerapproaches7714 Pish. At the last census in 2011 around 562,000 people said that they spoke Welsh which equates to 19% approx of the population.
@Celtic Revival / Adfywiad Celtaidd dude it's a joke I know people speak Welsh I am Welsh some of my family speak Welsh as their first language but it's just in my area of Wales there are very few Welsh speakers.
@@Jrain32 Oh, then I must have gotten them confused. A total mistake on my behalf, sorry. I suppose we will have to search further, since I did not find any others.
Ooooof. Researching Welsh music (I’m from Conwy) cause I’m looking to make a Welsh synth folk album, this is banging!! Hoping I can collaborate with you at some point?🙏🏼😭
Gwenwyn Ydio’n teimlo fel paradwys llwyr Yn llifo trwy dy weithienau di Y drysa sy’n cloi dy amgylchiadau Ond does dim ffoio’r problema Well i ti rhedeg tra ti’n ifanc Pan ti’n hŷn, fy’n na’m dianc Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di x3 Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di Ti heb ddangos dy gardiau i ni A pa gem ti’n trio chwara ‘da ni A ma blas euoogrwydd yn amlwg i’r byd Ti ddim yn berson ers i ti adal y crud A pawb arall yn gweld du a gwyn A trwy ein llygid ni mae lliwiau Yn adfil Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di x3 Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di x3 Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di
John ydy I dydd y byw Un Cardiff the only Welsh I can actually remember I got my Welsh exam next month listening to ur song to learn some 😂 well done budt
@@lsathomas Correct,couldnt find one online. Hope this very rough translation will suffice . It's far from correct,some of the words were a bit difficult to make out. Gwenyn/Poison You seem like a complete traitor Flowing through your veins Your evidence locks your circumstances Their is no way of escaping your problems You better find out when your young Not when your an old man trying to escape. Your background is poison In the eyes of your shadow You haven't shown your cards to us What are you playing with us Your taste s bad luck for the world Your not the same person when you left the cradle Everyone else sees black and white Through our eyes colors revive Your background is poison In the eyes of your shadow
